Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] make L2's kvm-clock stable, get rid of pvclock_gtod
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 18:45:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1500651918-14156-1-git-send-email-dplotnikov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
The main goal is to make L2 kvm-clock be stable when it's running over L1
with stable kvm-clock.
The patch series is for x86 architecture only. If the series is approved
I'll do changes for other architectures but I don't have an ability to
compile and check for every single on (help needed)
The patch series do the following:
* change timekeeper interface to get cycles stamp value from
the timekeeper
* get rid of pvclock copy in KVM by using the changed timekeeper
interface: get time and cycles right from the timekeeper
* make KVM recognize a stable kvm-clock as stable clocksource
and use the KVM masterclock in this case, which means making
L2 stable when running over stable L1 kvm-clock
Denis Plotnikov (11):
timekeeper: change interface of clocksource reding functions
pvclock: write cycle stamp value if a pointer given
kvmclock: pass cycles pointer to the changed pvclock interface
TSC: write cycles stamp value to input pointer
timekeeping: change ktime_get_with_offset interface to accept cycles
pointer
timekeeping: add functions returning cycle stamp counter along with
time
timekeeper: add clocksource change notifier
timekeeper: add a couple of the core timekeeper reading helpers
KVM: get rid of pv_clock_gtod
pvclock: add clocksource change notification on changing of tsc stable
bit
KVM: add pvclock to a list of stable clocks.
